VILNIUS (AFP) Jan 05, 2006 Finland's Oy Sisu Auto has won a tender to supply the Lithuanian armed forces with armoured trucks, the Lithuanian defence ministry said Thursday after signing a deal with the Finns. The value of the deal is 20 million euros (24 million dollars), the ministry said in a statement. It did not specify how many trucks will be purchased, but said the first truck was due to be delivered in 2007. The Finnish company was selected from among eight companies from Europe and the United States. Lithuania joined NATO in March 2004, and members of its armed forces are currently serving in international missions in Afghanistan, where the Baltic state leads a NATO provincial reconstruction team, Iraq and the Balkans.
